Isn't there a similar issue if you're being handed, for example, a /56
via a freenet6 tunnel, and you've got more than one network to use that
with (e.g. a wired network connected to the machine the tunnel connects
to, and a wireless network connected via a router (say, a WRT54G running
DDWRT) attached to the wired network.  Is there a standard automated way
to say, take the first /64 from the /56 and use it for the wired network
(I note the Ubuntu setup does this first part by generating an radvd
conf and (re)starting radvd) and handing off the second /64 in the /56
to the wireless router for use on the wireless network?  From what I see
so far, I'd have to manually config the wireless router, and if freenet6
should decide to change the /56 I'm being handed, I'd have to manually
change the config on the wireless router.
